Meanwhile, in the cheering crowd at USC, Jason said the same thing: "This short film is all shot with a transverse lens, it's anti-film, you guys are rejoicing too soon!"
The people around him all opened their mouths wide, anti-movie? Zhang Ran's short film is very good-looking, very exciting, I don't think there is anything wrong, how can it be anti-movie.
Someone asked, "Is that an exaggeration, and why is it considered anti-cinematic to use panning all the shots?"
Jason explained with a smile: "If you read any book on the grammar of the director's or film language, it will tell you at the beginning that the picture of the film is flat and two-dimensional, and the charm of film art lies in creating the illusion of a third dimension from the picture of the two."
As a film language, as a scene scheduling of a movie, I will tell you from the beginning, as a filmmaker, please remember that you must use more depth angles and less horizontal scheduling. Because the figure moves from the left to the left and out from the right, when the camera slides horizontally across the frame, he exposes the flattening of the film. On the contrary, when the character enters the painting from the depths of the frame, faces the camera, or when the character enters the painting from the bottom edge of the frame and walks into the depth, the illusion of depth is very strong! If a film uses a lot of horizontal shots, it is easy to flatten the picture, which is contrary to the essence of the film. So this kind of filming is anti-cinematic!"
Someone asked, "Can we win this game?"
Jason smiled, "Does it matter if you win or lose? Coppola and Spielberg are so busy, why are they willing to participate in this kind of student activity? Is it just to watch the students' amateur works? No, to encourage everyone to continue to explore the language of film." Pushing the boundaries of cinema. These two works have shown me more possibilities for film, and that's what really deserves to be cheered for!"
The original editing competition with Zhang Ran. Let Jason understand why he lost, he is too focused on winning and losing, and ignores the essence of the movie. After that, he did some introspection and relaxed mentality, so he didn't play ↙↙ in last year's game. This year, if he didn't know that Zhang Ran would compete, he wouldn't be interested in coming. But now that he has watched the two short films, he feels that he has not come in vain.
Zhang Ran in the crowd smiled, the reason why he wanted to use this horizontal camera panning lens. It is the hope that the cinematic space of the film will be squeezed through guò, creating a sense of constraint and showing the dilemma of reality. But he is worried about a problem, when he uses a lot of panning shots, the audience will focus on the camera, which will make the scene and make the audience uncomfortable. However, judging from the audience's reaction, everyone did not notice the lens itself and was attracted to the movie. In other words, Zhang Ran's experiment was a success.
Soon. The five judges have finished scoring.
Coppola looked at the results in his hand, then at Spielberg, and laughed, "How is it? I said you were happy too early, right?"
Spielberg smiled: "I didn't expect anyone to dare to shoot like this, what an amazing young man!"
Coppola stood up triumphantly. Hold the microphone and announce the result: "Now please be quiet." The results of "Search" are announced by me......"
The audience held their breath, and most of the USC students were relaxed. They felt that Cuarón's short films were better, and that Zhang Ran's rating could not be higher than Cuarón's, and the students felt the same way. But everyone hoped for a miracle and prayed silently.
Coppola paused. Announcing with a smile: "The score of "Xun" is 9.98 points!"
The students erupted in a loud cheer that literally toppled the roof of the auditorium. Originally, everyone thought they had lost, but they didn't expect a big reversal. The students were so excited that the entire auditorium turned into a boiling blue ocean!
The USC students were extremely depressed, how could it be that Caron's short film was better, but they couldn't find fault with it, because Zhang Ran's lowest score was Coppola's 9.9, while the other four judges all gave 10 points.
If you want to win Zhang Ran now, unless there is a work that can make all five judges score 10 points, this is obviously impossible!
There is no suspense, this year's intra-city battle is won by ULA!
The students cheered, and it was in this auditorium that they lost 10-0 last year. Today we finally won back, and everyone raised their eyebrows. For their heroes, they naturally sing praises.
"Robin is the biggest headache in USC! It's too strong! It's always bad luck to have him in USC!"
"That's right, he's our hero! Look at USC's depressed face, it's so cool! I will definitely support his movies in the future!"
"It's a pity that he won't be able to participate next year!"
On the other hand, the students of USC also realized this, and their depressed expressions faded all of a sudden, and one by two they breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression in their hearts immediately dissipated, and their faces showed a relaxed look.
"This damn Chinese won't be able to participate next year! Honas will definitely be able to beat them to the head by then!"
"This scourge is finally going to fuck off, and this is the best news I've heard today!"
At this moment, Coppola took the microphone and shouted: "That Zhang who filmed "Xun", come here!"
Coppola is proud and a true master of cinema. Hearing him call himself over, Zhang Ran dared to slack off, and walked over amid cheers: "Hello, Mr. Coppola! I like your "Godfather" very much, I have pulled it many times when I was reading, and every time I read it, I will have a new harvest!"
Coppola smiled and patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder, and said kindly: "I heard that you are going to make a movie about flying, and all the shots are panted. I was thinking that this is such a crazy young man. I didn't expect to see a short film today where all the shots are horizontal, so you're experimenting with your own films, right?"
"Yes, I don't know what the consequences will be of using a lot of traverse lenses. So I wanted to do an experiment. How do you know I'm going to make a story about flying, Mr. Scorsese?"
Scorsese is friends with Coppola. In fact, it is not only the two of them, Spielberg and George Lucas are also very good friends with them.
"Yes. I heard Scorsese say that the idea that your whole camera was going to move horizontally scared him!"
"Not all, at the end of the movie, when the plane takes off, there are several shots in depth. At the same time, the square screen will expand to both sides. Do you know the scrolls of Chinese paintings? Open like scrolls, the whole world is wide!"
Coppola looked at Spielberg and asked with a smile, "You've made a movie about airplanes, what do you think?"
Spielberg smiled and nodded: "Very bold idea, full of creativity." The future is limitless!"
Zhang Ran hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Spielberg!"
Coppola encouraged: "I've seen your "Burst Drummer", and the shooting is not bad, but it is not too good. But your short film has given me a huge surprise, very imaginative! Don't waste your talent, your future is bright!"
The audience was in an uproar!
Both Spielberg and Coppola are optimistic about Zhang Ran's future, and the students around him are envious and jealous. If this spreads, I'm afraid that many producers will come to the door with the script!
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Coppola." I'll try my best to shoot it, I'll try my best to shoot it well. Because I really love making movies!"
At this time, other USC students submitted their work, and the lights in the auditorium dimmed. I know that there is no chance of winning, but I can show my work in front of the masters. No one wants to miss such an opportunity.
Zhang Ran had already achieved his goal, and he was not interested in looking any further, so he said to Coppola. Turn around and walk out of the auditorium.
As soon as he walked to the door, Zhang Ran found Jason standing at the door. He couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?"
Jason nodded, "Yes." I was blown away by your short film, it was unexpectedly wonderful! But I don't understand. You are obviously capable, why did you choose to be conservative in the lens of "Burst Drummer", and why did you make a worthless movie like "Time Soldier"?"
Zhang Ran said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by a worthless movie? You haven't seen it, why do you say that?"
Jason sneered, "Do you still need to watch it? As soon as you see the introduction, you know that it is a popcorn movie, don't you think it's a waste of your talent to make this kind of film?"
Zhang Ran knew that the other party had good intentions, so he couldn't say anything unpleasant, and asked, "Do you think Mr. Coppola is talented? Is he a great director?"
Jason said speechlessly: "Of course, with "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now", he is one of the greatest directors!"
Zhang Ran continued to ask: "But it has been more than 20 years since the filming of "Apocalypse Now", and he has not had a good work, have you thought about why?"
Jason really hasn't studied: "This ......"
Zhang Ran glanced up at the auditorium and sighed: ""Apocalypse Now" is strictly overdue, although the film made money in the end, but Coppola has since entered the blacklist of the producers, because most of the excellent adaptation rights are in the hands of big studios, he can't get access to good scripts at all." In addition, the movie "Sweetheart", which he invested in himself, failed miserably at the box office and was saddled with a debt of 30 million. Since then, Coppola has become a character who picks up the leftovers of the big studio's scripts to pay off his debts! Take "Sweetheart" as an example, he uses the dissolving technique to the best and reproduces the multi-part montage, but will the studio take care of this? They only care about whether they can make money, and if they can't, no matter how famous you are, it will be rubbish. That's the case with Coppola, and it's the same with the great Orson Welles, because the money is wasted! So I have to make money, and I can only control my own destiny if I have enough money in my hands to make the movies I want to make!"
Jason smiled wryly and shook his head, money is a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of filmmakers, and it is difficult to get rid of. He really wanted to make a movie, and he also showed his script to many producers, and they all said it was good, but no one wanted to pay for it because they felt that there was no box office. He sighed and said, "Your words make sense, but I still only make the movies I want to make!"
Zhang Ran said sincerely: "There is no right or wrong in this matter, it is all your own choice." But I'm sure you'll succeed, you're the most talented young director I've ever met!"
Jason glared at Zhang Ran and said, "You deliberately laughed at me, right?"
Zhang Ran was stunned: "Why do you think so?"
Jason snorted: "Speaking of talent, who dares to compare with you as a pervert, you are boasting about yourself in disguise!"
Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head, he didn't think he was talented, what he had was more than ten years of experience than others. But he didn't explain, and said with a smile: "I'm glad to hear you say that, this is simply the greatest compliment for me!
Watching Zhang Ran turn around and leave, Jason's eyes were complicated, and then a smile appeared. We'll meet again, and people like you will definitely be on the Oscar stage. At that time, I will definitely beat you!
